CastleBuilder on Squidoo

I grew up in Paterson, NJ, in a very, very poor neighborhood. Yep, home of Victor Cruz, All-Star Receiver for the 2011 NFL Champion NY Giants Football Team.

As a poor "street kid" I learned the value of a dollar fast. My childhood dream was to someday live in a castle. Maybe in the mountains, where there were real trees. There weren't many in downtown Paterson.

I grew up in Paterson, NJ, in a very, very poor neighborhood. Yep, home of Victor Cruz, All-Star Receiver for the 2011 NFL Champion NY Giants Football Team.

As a poor "street kid" I learned the value of a dollar fast. My childhood dream was to someday live in a castle. Maybe in the mountains, where there were real trees. There weren't many in downtown Paterson.

After getting my first break in the business world, which is another whole story... I spent most of my corporate career in Sales and Marketing Management for a number of major automotive products companies, including nine years at STP Corporation (The Racers Edge), R.E.Dietz Company, the makers of the headlights for the Model T Ford, CRC Industries, and Technical Chemical Company.

In late 1991, after being a victim of corporate down-sizing, we moved to S.W. Florida and started Olde World Stone & Tile, making concrete tile for the fast-growing builder market there. We then added Olde World Enterprises in 1995 as our Business Opportunity arm, due to strong demand for customers wanting to make their own products "back home" in their state.

After moving to NC in 1999 and once things slowed down a bit after developing 26 acres into a Scottish-themed vacation resort in Murphy, NC, we started offering our mold products on Ebay, as a test. My quintuple by-pass surgery actually is what prompted it! We then sold some of Scottish Woods Resort property, along with our Scottish Highland cattle and miniature horses, but kept the small castle I had started building... my dream! I have plans for the "total" completion that will be given to a new owner when they buy the current "mini" castle. Then we will start building a new one in PA where are children and grand-kids are... or at least that's my second "dream".

So for now, we continue building our Olde World Stone & Tile and The Mold Store businesses by helping entrepreneurs realize their dreams of having their own business, and homeowners' and do-it-yourselfers' dreams of making custom products that save them money on their own projects and homes.

To that end, we now have www.TheMoldStore.com as a Product Catalogue website, www.TheMoldStore.us as our eStore website, www.TheMoldStore.info as our training website, www.Oldeworld.com as our Business Opportunity website, and www.CastleMcKenzie as our vacation rental castle website.

We sell our products in our own store of course, as well as on Ebay, Amazon, Bonanza, eBid, and a number of other Internet retail sites. We believe that every business should sell the best product possible, at a fair and competitive price, with the fastest shipping and best customer service attainable... WE DO!

Top quality molds are essential to manufacturing top quality products. Our mold technology is the result of years of research and development. We use the best mold techniques and materials to produce our molds. We have the ability to design and manufacture custom molds, should you have a custom-design request. In 2004 we introduced a new line of stone veneer, brick, and paver molds, and will continue to add to that assortment now and in the future. Our main business is making molds for our Producers and customers. As such, our success is truly dependent on their success. Whether making something for your own use, or to sell as part of your business... we will do everything possible to ensure that together, we will succeed.
